Up to 1 in 4 parents experience mental health challenges during the perinatal period. Working with many individuals and couples, I’m aware of the silent struggles that often go unseen at this time. I offer a calm, supportive space where your thoughts and emotions can be talked about openly and without judgement.​

 

Each part of the perinatal journey can be impactful in different ways, and everyone’s experience is unique.

​

Pregnancy & Birth

Not all pregnancy or birth experiences feel safe, supported, or empowering. You may be carrying the emotional impact of medical interventions, loss of control, fear, or feeling unheard during your care.

​

Sometimes these experiences stay with us long after the pregnancy or birth itself. You might notice anxiety, intrusive memories, emotional numbness, or a sense that something doesn’t feel fully resolved. 

​

Postnatal

After having a baby, people can often feel anxious, low, disconnected, or unlike themselves. Some feel guilt or shame when their expectations don’t meet the reality of the experience. This can be especially distressing during a time when you may already feel physically and emotionally depleted.

​

You may be adjusting to changes in identity, relationships, or a sense of who you are. You might feel isolated, overwhelmed, or unsure how to ask for help. 

​

Pregnancy & Baby Loss

Ectopic pregnancies, miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal loss, or termination for medical reasons can be devastating and life-changing. Grief after baby loss can feel complex, isolating, and difficult to express, particularly when those around you may not know how to respond.

​

There is no right way to grieve and no timeline you need to follow. You may experience a wide range of emotions, or feel disconnected from your body or the world around you.
